Spec me a cheap flight please

Sgt Tackleberry · 28 Dec 2012 at 10:07

Hi Guys and Girls,

Need some help.

Im going on holiday to Gulluk, Turkey on the 27/02/13 til the 6/03/13 (these dates are flexible give or take a day or two) due to that i will be
renting a villa from a friend whats only costing me £100.

There are two of us going, we both have been looking on non stop for the last week for flights, and i cant find any cheap flights. I find one
for £120pp then you will have to add on extra charge for seats, baggage ect ect then it works out at £400pp.

I want this to be a cheap holiday but its not working out to be.

I am asking the Gurus of flights, holiday people who could find me a cheap flight please.

I can take off from any london airport at any time, the airport i will be landing at will be Bodrum BJV.

This will be my fist time leaving this country ever, I have never been on holiday abroad, so all this stuff is fiist time for me, lol.

Any help would be gr8

Thanks

how does 120pp work out at 400 with the extras?

what might not be helping is that Bodrum is a summer detsination so flights may be limited in the winter

Showing up as £179.86 using skyscanner.net and the dates you've added. Flying from Standsted to the destination in your OP. That's with taxes as well I beleive.

This is including of a change of planes, and get a different return as there's a long wait, but as you're flexible you can change what you need.

is that with pegasus?, if so when you click on the site to do the seats, times bags it all adds up. Like i said i never been on holiday so i dont know if these prices are good or bad.

Thanks

Answer:

Don't pay for seats.
Don't pay for bags.

I purchased one of these from Amazon for use with cheapo airlines.

It is:

1 × adult fare @ £186.86 (incl. £83.86 tax) £186.86
1 × booking fee @ £0.00 £0.00

That's using skyscanner and then going through the lastminute.com link.

That should be your final price; you'll get a standard weight allowance, but if you want to take more (you won't) you'll have to pay extra. But this shouldn't worry you.

The return journeys appear to be very very long as they include a long stop, make sure when you book you get a good flight back and minimise the delay as much as you can.

Awsome, cheers.
When I was booking it I was paying for window seats and next toeach other but I'm sure we don't have to seat next to each other fr 6hrs lol.

Can you get up and walk around on the plane? Also do I need the flight sock to help against DVT?.

Thanks

You don't need to book seats next to each other, it will be very unlikely that you end up separated and the flight crew are normally happy to re-arrange people.

You can walk around the plane a little unless the seat belt warning lights are on due to turbulence. However, it seems in recent years they have decided not to let you hang around standing up. i used to stand at the back of the plane and play cards with friends, or just stand around drinking (don't drink much alcohol on a plane, the air is very dry and the lower pressure tends to get you badly hungover, drink plenty of water regardless). Now a days they tell you to sit back down. I reccomend aisle seats so you can get up and down as you please without disturbing anyone. Window seats are good for trying to fall asleep for the flight and not getting disturbed.
